SANTEE  Don’t look for West Hills High in any San Diego Section rankings.

Not yet anyway.

But make no mistake about it — the Wolf Pack can hit.

In Monday’s 6A Division opener of the Lions Baseball Tournament, West Hills (7-2) laced four San Ysidro pitchers for 14 hits en route to a 16-5 victory that was called in the sixth inning because of a tournament time limit.

“There’s no weak point in our lineup,” said Wolf Pack junior catcher Johnny Espinoza. “We bunch our hits. We don’t just count on one or two guys to carry it.”

Seven West Hills starters contributed to the offensive onslaught. Espinoza was 3-for-5 with a double and two RBIs.

“Johnny is one of the better athletes on our team,” said first-year West Hills head coach Cordell Hipolito. “He’s a solid utility guy with a great makeup and understanding of the game.”

Though Espinoza was behind the plate in the tournament opener, he can also play the outfield as well as pitch. As a freshman he was a shortstop and pitcher. As a sophomore on the junior varsity he split time between catcher and center field.

“He knows how to call a good game behind the plate and he’s just getting better,” Hipolito said.

Espinoza said he called approximately 50 percent of the pitches.

“It depends on the pitcher and the situation,” he said.

Senior third baseman Patrick Estey was 2-for-3 with a triple and four RBIs. He also does some of the catching but proved that he’s more than reliable at the hot corner.

“I prefer third base over catching,” Estey said. “Playing there is more reaction than anything else.”

Estey charged two slow rollers, picked them up barehanded and — throwing off balance — tossed perfect strikes to first base to take away hits from San Ysidro (5-6).
